Does this include Auctions & Best Offer or only Buy It Now?

eBates is EVIL.

NOT commenting on this offer.

In my experience there are no better fine point pens/refills than the Zebra F-301 Ballpoint Retractable Pen 0.7 mm Fine Points. Certainly none under $10 per refill. The Zebra’s can be had in multipacks for ~$1.50 ea.

Just started reading it hurts cause it’s true.

As long as white chocolate is considered chocolate I’m out.

@FrugalFreak - That article makes me ill.

Pretty soon it’ll be mandatory to wear underwear on the outside so M$ can check.
See Bananas (1971) imdb.

what article?

A month ago. Are you kidding?

I think for an older car this’d be aright.

I have HondaCare so not needed.

But if I did need Emergency Crash Response (self monitoring???) & 24/7 Roadside Assistance. What are the better deals these days???

Win 7 capable.

Great deal.
Was hoping for 6th gen instead of 7th gen. I would have bit.

I bet some will get their $199 mugs stolen.

Wow I would have got this instead of the $255 UTnT 3GB.

@atikovi said in eBay shipping damage claim:

Stop communicating with the seller and open a “not as described” case with Ebay. You will get ALL your money back.

This & nothing but this.

Does it come with vandalism insurance?

If I’m following this as mentioned I bet NoScript was a big part of this.

No worries.

Couldn’t read the Costco ad. Those prices are per week? Cause $183 a month is insane.

Thanks but not what I wanted.

Have you tried Enterprise? Rate can differ by $300/mo depending on zip.

I’m not an expert but on FF I dumped UBO also. Tried ABP but found AB worked best here.

Did your deletion include all PWF cookies?

I don’t understand this post or who it’s by and what’s the issue is or whose issue it is.

But Xfinity mobile is an add on. Not in a vacuum. People are paying what $175 a month to be able use to Xfinity mobile, right?

Ime utilities don’t estimate well. After 6mos I got an additional bill for hundreds due at once.

Furries!

Getting started with Linux.
I’m not going to explain much all the info & answers are out there GIYF.

Some useful links.
Most helpful suggestion: read, read, read, read, read.

Dual Boot Mrk

How to get started with Linux: A beginner’s guide

How to Dual-Boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 (& 17.10!)

Believe me Linux is not that hard. Little by little on a spare machine or Live Distros. Within a few sessions you’ll feel not out of your depth.

You know Windows is learning also.

LOL. It’s learning not instant coffee.

suggested LiveCD cause it doesn’t destroy your current OS. Like try before you buy. Course it’s free.

Suggest going to Distrowatch downloading & burning some LiveCD. You don’t have to format, just play in the live environment. It’s all real easy to google these days.

I remember the 1st time I booted to a LiveCD in a Desktop that I’d removed the hard drive 1st. I laughed & laughed because I was using it without a HDD.

I suggest Mint & Ubuntu to start.

@FrugalFreak Linux that all banking & government sites worked on. And a seamless office suite that worked with M$ Office. There’s always some stupid website that I desperately need to use that Linux won’t work on. And it’s NOT Linuxes fault it’s the stupid FN website.

Those are the issues keeping me from full time Linux. Hardware compatibility is no longer an issue ime unless you have bleeding edge or ancient tech.

If I have an unknown laptop I want Linux on. Usually by the 3rd Distro everything works. Distrowatch.org is a great resource.

Some things won’t work like switchable graphics.

Some chose, some were forced. At this point everyone should know the issues.

I like the big honkin’ avatars. And I like how the green dots turn into brain slugs on some avatars to identify those zombied by our alien overlords.

I might add this is not only true with some luxury cars. It is also true for other cars as well.

I have bought 3 Civics over the years. In general unless there’s something hinky with the Civic the price difference between a new Civic & a 2 yr Civic <20k mi is negligible.

My old faithful 4yrs+ Lenovo G780 17.3" left hinge is messed up. It’s going to fall apart soon I surmise. And I didn’t want W10 & since M$ beats the piss out of manufacturers I can’t install W7 on the newest 7th & 8th gen Intel CPU afaik.

So I was getting panicky. I did the best I could for my needs & budget.

HP ProBook 470 G3 Notebook i5-6200U 8GB RAM 500GB HDD 17.3" Win7 W0S57UT#ABL

I didn’t do too much research because there is less & less available stock per my requirements. I swore I’d wouldn’t buy a new HP. Well mister high & mighty just bought an HP. At least it’s HP ProBook Series which are miles better than the HP consumer line. Well for hardly any new 17" W7 laptops out there I think I did pretty good at $727 otd. F M$ btw if you couldn’t tell.

Hope this W7 laptop lasts as my desktop replacement until Big Brother is toppled, Pandora’s box is closed or until the Apocalypse does whatever.

@rasheed said in Best Prepaid Card?:

Chase Liquid?
https://www.chase.com/debit-reloadable-cards/liquid-prepaid-card

It is free to get for many existing account holders (even if you put it in some else’s name I believe). I think the ATM and now Zelle access is really nice. The linking is for the no fee part, does not require funds availability be linked.

Chase Liquid has a monthly Service Fee of $4.95. That’s not worth it.
